Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal type and range of the FC2231 load cell?

The FC2231-0000-0050-L provides a ratiometric analog voltage output. With a 5V excitation, the output typically spans from 0.5V (at no load) to 4.5V (at full 50 lb load), making it directly compatible with most microcontroller analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) without additional signal conditioning.

What is the operating temperature range for this sensor?

This load cell is designed for robust operation across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. This makes it suitable for applications in uncontrolled environments, including outdoor industrial settings or thermally challenging OEM devices.

How do I mount and interface the FC2231 load cell?

The sensor is designed for compression force application. Ensure the force is applied axially to the designated sensing surface for accurate measurement. Interface requires connecting the 5V DC supply and ground wires, and reading the analog output voltage from the signal wire. No special mounting hardware is included; design your fixture to apply force evenly.

Is this load cell suitable for measuring tension (pulling) forces?

No, the FC2231-0000-0050-L is specifically designed and calibrated for compression forces only. Applying tensile forces could damage the internal strain gauge element and void calibration. For tension measurements, select a load cell model explicitly rated for tension or tension/compression.
